Two spherical bodies $\mathrm{A}$ (radius $6 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and $\mathrm{B}$ (radius $18 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) are at temperature $\mathrm{T}_1$ and $\mathrm{T}_2$, respectively. The maximum intensity in the emission spectrum of $\mathrm{A}$ is at $500 \mathrm{~nm}$ and in that of $\mathrm{B}$ is at $1500 \mathrm{~nm}$. Considering them to be black bodies, what will be the ratio of the rate of total energy radiated by $A$ to that of $B$ ?

$ \lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{T}=\text { constant } $

$ \lambda_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}=\lambda_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}$

Rate of total energy radiated $\propto \mathrm{AT}^4$

    Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at  $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
